Adjusting the spring tension
If your pedelec features mechanical suspension with steel or titanium springs, you can
usually adjust the spring tension yourself if you have the necessary technical knowledge.
1. Remove the cover cap from the left stand tube, if present.
2. Turn the rotary knob on the stand tube:
- in a clockwise direction (+) to increase the spring tension.
- in an anti-clockwise direction (-) to decrease the spring tension.
Make sure that the spring tension is adjusted to the same stiffness setting on both
sides.
3. If you are unsure how to adjust the suspension or experience problems when doing so,
please consult your specialist dealer.
Lock-out function
The lock-out function is activated using the rotary knob on the right stand tube of the
suspension fork.
• Activate the lock-out function by turning the rotary knob one quarter of a turn in a
clockwise direction.
• Deactivate the active lock-out function by turning the rotary knob one quarter of a turn
in an anti-clockwise direction.
INFORMATION

You can use the lock-out function to lock the suspension fork completely, e.g. if you
are pedalling hard and the suspension is adversely affecting your progress or riding
comfort.
∙ Please note that the suspension can compress by up to 15 mm on uneven road
surfaces, even when the lock-out function is activated.
